How does that Google cloud proxy server work?

[-] jhn@xffxe4.lol 1 points 1 year ago

It’s a bit of a janky solution, but I’m just running an openvpn server on the lowest tier vps which my home server auto-connects to on boot. From there it’s just iptables rules to reroute the external traffic through the VPN. I’ve also used it to proxy Minecraft servers and a few other things.

Would something like WireGuard do the same thing?

[-] jhn@xffxe4.lol 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah the choice of VPN doesn't really matter here. I would just configure it to not push a default route to cut down on the amount of traffic going through. You could even use something like ZeroTier if you wanted.
